About the only difference between the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 defeat to the San Jose
Sharks on Thursday evening and their 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks last night
was who ultimately did the last place Oilers in.

Another game against a Western Conference powerhouse was met with yet another ass-whipping for the Edmonton Oilers.
While the final score may have read 5-1 for the San Jose Sharks, it was a rather flattering score line for Dallas Eakins’ side.

Should any of us have really been surprised?
Watching the Edmonton Oilers blow another late third period lead and
eventually drop a 4-3 overtime decision to the Phoenix Coyotes seemed to
be the perfect way for this group to end what has been a rather
tumultuous 2013 calendar year.

Saturday night’s 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers marked the midway point of
the Edmonton Oilers 2013-14 campaign. Forty-one games are now in the
books and the Oilers sit in the basement of the Western Conference with a
13-24-4 record, good enough for 29th spot in the NHL’s overall standings.

As far as rookie seasons go Nail Yakupov managed to put
together a fairly productive one during what was an abbreviated 48 game
schedule in 2013.
The former first overall pick not only led all rookies in both goals and
points but was also tops among all Edmonton Oilers with seventeen
goals.

Expecting the Edmonton Oilers, as they are currently
structured, to no be regularly dominated by teams who play a skilled but
physical brand of hockey, is nothing more than wishful thinking.
With that said, none of us should be overly surprised to see the
Philadelphia Flyers walk into Rexall Place and pretty much do whatever
they wanted in beating the Oilers 4-3 in a shootout on Saturday night.
